NAME: Caltrops ELEMENT: Earth COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Creatures take 1 damage when played. Lasts for 3 turns.	NAME: Spikes ELEMENT: Earth COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Creatures take 1 damage when played. Absorb each turn.

ART: Looking for it... IDEA: EvaRia NOTES: Stackable. Unsure as to whether it should affect both sides of the field. Willing to debate element, cost, amount of turns, and other mechanics. SERIES:

(: I remember seeing this!

I'd say both cards only take 1 damage, up the cost, and make it last indefinitely.

Maybe OP'd that way..  Perhaps an upkeep cost?

Anyways I like the idea.

[Stickmasterluke]

Yeah. I think the idea is awesome. Lasting two turns is a pain though, and two damage is a bit much if these are stackable. Over all though, I think it would be a great addition to the game.

- It seems balanced.
- I like it
- It's new
- It counters Lava Golems
- I like it?
- It's simple yet effective
- Less good then Fire Buckler as far as I can see, so it can last indefinitely aswell?
- I like it...

I'd go with Ajit's suggestion, making the upgrade last indef and do 1 damage also.

I would have done it darkness rather than earth since it's a trap.

I also think 2 damages is too much if stackable.

[Jappert]

Ah, I forgot the stacks.
Ye it needs a timer then, and 2 damage is a bit to much

Earth element is fine though imo.

[Wonder]

2 turns seems a little low to me.. why us this when you could just use a BB?
I think you should increase the number of turns it lasts+the cost ^^b
That's just my opinion though.

[EvaRia]

Alright, I finally got back to this card and modified it.

I think it's fairly balanced now.

It'll give a lot of low HP creature decks a fairly hard time, but hey, Gravity shield gives 5 HP + Decks a similarly hard time.

Fire could use a small nerf anyways

[Rutarete]

Nothing's been said about flying things yet. This should only affect non-airborne creatures, agreed?

* = You may want to credit wizelsnarf or at least look at his card idea - the cards are incredibly similar in nature...

A hard counter towards the majority of and frail creatures (this demolishes RoL-Hope for example or Lava rushes); the thing that makes it questionable is its pure synergy with PA; given enough quanta, one could have an incredibly difficult time playing creatures, as this is a pretty strong form of CC...

[EvaRia]

Oh, whoops...

I made this card before I got the blurb about direct image links... 

EDIT: I think the one for Spikes may be copyrighted, so I'll just drop in some filler art for now =\

And I've seen Wizel's idea, it's a somewhat similar idea, but it works a bit similarly.
